Kuboraum Makes $500 Sunglasses that Double as Objets D'art
Within seconds of slipping on a pair of Kuboraum glasses, from the heft of the frames, the sheen of the lenses, and the layering of shapes, it becomes clear that the eyewear belongs in its own category; the trio behind the brand refers to them as masks. Sure, they'll cost you a pretty penny (some run as high as 2,010 Euros), but one of the brand's three founder's explains the price point philosophically: "People are free in their lives--free to choose what’s good or bad for them, free to lose or to find, free to buy or hesitate." More from the founder's of this Berlin by way of Italy brand, right this way.
